Chilean farmers clash with Allende on land reform
In Chile's Cautin province farmers accuse the Marxist government of flouting its policy by failing to protect small landholders as Indians allegedly led by agitators seize about 300 farms. Police intervene while agrarian reform officials manage seized properties. Allende's government has dismissed a Communist provincial governor. Temuco hosts reform efforts as the province, a farm hub producing large shares of Chile's heat, milk, and beef, leans right in the previous election.

Mapuche Struggle Amid Chilean Land Seizures and Social Decay
In southern Chile the Mapuche population of about 520000 faces historic dispossession and postwar farm seizures. Only around a quarter of cultivable land remains in their control, with new laws hindering sales to non Indians. Housing and health for the largely ignored group are dire, and child mortality runs high. Under Allende promises of social justice, land seizures continue amid decades of division and erosion of native rights.

Declassify or classify laws lampooned in war time satire
A humorous Washington column riffs on the idea of loosening rules for declassifying WWII era documents and tightening initial classifications. It parodies a House hearing and imagines absurd steps like a public license, six week waiting period, an announcement party, and a justice of the peace ceremony to seal a document as a state secret.

Officials report a surge in monthly cases since 1969 and identify sources in a cadre of US civilians frequenting Hong Kong and Thailand.
